Environmentalists point out that last year proved to be the warmest for this, see the devastating drought and forest fires. And late snow in places like Mount Buller forced the ski industry depends on artificial snow to service stations to keep.

But the Conservative Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, the country is viewed with skepticism by many as one of the climate change. Once described the science induced as "absolute rubbish" behind global warming caused by humans.

He promised to abolish the carbon tax in the country and arrested a number of research organizations on climate.
